Whether you're driving, flying, sailing, or a combination of the above, traveling can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. However, your trip can only go as good as as bad as your prepare for. Here are a few scenarios we can all relate to:

Starting Your Playlist Weeks In Advance, And While You're At It, Download Your Netflix Favorites, Too

Giphy

You've gotta have the best road trip songs! If you're not ready, you'll be listening to your parents picks, which almost certainly excludes today's best bops. Plus, with Netflix, the time will just fly by! This is the best excuse for binge-watching out there.

Stopping Too Many Times For Gas and Bathroom Breaks


Giphy

You may or may not feel this way. As someone who wants to get to their final destination as quickly as possible, this is what frustrates me about traveling in large groups. Someone ALWAYS has to use the bathroom every thirty miles.

Bring On The Road Snacks

Giphy

This is probably my favorite excuse for eating junk food that I normally wouldn't eat. Except Dunkin Donuts. You can never have too much of that.

Pillows and Blankets Are Everything

Giphy

It doesn't matter if you're flying or driving. Sleep will be your best friend if you have a long journey ahead of you.

Everyone Will Probably Hate Each Other By The End Of the Day

Giphy

It's just what happens when you cram people in tight spaces for hours on end.

You'll Start Looking For That One Good Texting Buddy

Giphy

You know, that person you can easily text back and forth with for five hours, No problem! We've all got one. It's probably your sibling, significant other, or best friend if they're not already in the car with you.

Starting A Pinterest Board For Potential Instagram Posts

Because pics or it didn't happen, right?

What will your next adventure look like? Will you check all of these boxes? Be prepared and embrace every part of the experience!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
